Enhancing Mechanical Properties of M30 Grade Concrete through Ceramic Waste as Coarse Aggregate Replacement

Abstract:

This research study explores the possible of ceramic waste (CW) as a substitute for gravel in M30 grade concrete to enhance its mechanical properties. Concrete mixes were prepared with varying % of ceramic waste replacement (0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%) to explore the impact on compressive, split tensile, and flexural strengths. The compressive strength test assesses the concrete ability to withstand axial loads, while the split tensile strength test assess the worth of its resistance to tensile forces. Additionally, the flexural strength test measures the concrete's capability to resist bending stresses. The results reveal that as the percentage of ceramic waste substitution become greater, there are variations in the mechanical properties of the concrete. This study aims to give valuable insights to the construction industry regarding sustainable practices by utilizing waste materials in concrete production. The findings suggest that incorporating ceramic waste as a replacement for coarse aggregate in M30 grade concrete has the possible to improve strength characteristics while addressing environmental concerns. Overall, this research highlights the feasibility of incorporating ceramic waste in concrete mixtures to enhance sustainability and reduce the reliance on natural resources.
